Nissan Skyline GT-R R33 S-Tune

[73superduty]

Two done already this year. I completed 4 last year. I'm back in the groove and just having fun.

This is the Fujimi Nissan Skyline R-33 S-Tune. You may remember last time I completed the R-32 version of this car.
Yes, I'm planning to start the R-34 version soon too along with the new Skyline if and when the S-tune comes out for that one.

Anyway, standard box stock build.
Painted in Zero paints Chrome Silver
Martha Stewart flocking in light gray with two tone interior.
The decals were very fragile and I lost a few of them while applying. One of the side stripes broke in two places but I was able to get it fixed.
The inter-cooler actually comes with a piece of metal mesh to cover the plastic supplied piece. This time I used the decal for the "nismo" on the inter-cooler versus my template and micron pens.

Of note about this kit were the tweaked spoiler and window. They fit nice but the warping shows if you look hard enough. Something I didn't notice until actual assembly. Even during dry fit phase it fit fine, but I had to polish the window and may have warped it with force. Windscreen wipers were also two rights. Used some from my parts bin.

The mirrors are upside down as that was the only way they would fit. No other way looked correct or fit fit right. I tried every possible angle and left to right.
The orange markers are on the fenders now too.
It's all good since I just wanted them for my collection. Only the discerning Skyline fan would even know.
Here are a couple of pictures:

Looks super clean. Nice to see you getting back with the builds. The only thing i think can make it look better is if it was lower a tiny bit. Take some more pics outside.

Thanks MM, I thought the wheels were a little too small. I can see where it could use some lowering in the front for sure.
As far as pictures outside, no thanks! LOL It's 3 here. We had a blizzard last night. I'm afraid photo's outside will have to wait until spring.
Thanks for checking it out.

Nice work looks great!! Im working on a similar collection, takes time.
Oh, I think Aoshima & Fujimi have a model of the Spec V GTR 09, I think its also called a "Nismo Package", & theres Nismo decals for it aswell

Chris, you know I dig it! The wheels could be stepped up a bit but the rest is great!
